Amelia sighed as she grasped her mug of hot tea. "I'm stumped Miss Lina, I can't think of a good winter gift for Zelgadis."

Lina munched on her biscuit. She didn't understand why Amelia was so distraught. Amelia and Zelgadis had been married for almost a year now, heck Gourry and herself had been married for two. Coming up with gift ideas shouldn't be that hard.

"What's the big deal, you've given Zel winter gifts before."

"Yes, but this is our first winter as a married couple, so I want it to be special." She leaned over the table. "What did you give Mister Gourry for your first winter gift together?"

Lina scratched her cheek. "Um...just a new sword and he got me a necklace, but we didn't make a huge deal of it."

Amelia frowned and rested her head on her hands. "I even asked Miss Martina for advice."

Lina choked. "You asked Martina?!"

"She and Zangulus have been married for a few years," Amelia argued. "I figured she could speak from experience."

Lina scoffed. "So, what did she tell you? Do a live sacrifice to Zoamelgustar?"

Amelia shook her head. "Actually, she suggested I tie a bow around my neck and then lay in bed and wait for Zelgadis to appear, but I can't do that as a present."

Lina coughed and spat out her mouth of tea. "Amelia," she blurted after she quickly wiped her mouth with her sleeve. "She was saying...you know, giving Zel a 'fun time'."

Amelia blushed red. "What-No! I course I understood what she meant."

Lina frowned and ran a hand through her hair. "Then, what's the problem? Just do that!"

Amelia's blush deepened and she quietly muttered, "I already did that for his birthday."

Lina blushed and quickly changed the topic to pocket watches.
